POLICE COURT.
FRIDAY, June gath.


l turned round and saw Robinson
on his back and several people on
top of him. l pulled him on to his
feet. Afterwards 1 saw native
looking on and l said to him "you
stop here, 1 want you for witness. 4"
l kept blowing my whistle and 1
saw three policemen coming up
Richard street. That was all l saw.
1 did not see any 20 policemen that
night. know all the policemen.
Had there been 20 there should
have recognised them. When the
three policemen came / said "Be
quick, or these men will get killed,
/ am the only one that had been
helping them" l then told Dias to
point out the man who commenced
this row. I had made up my mind
to arrest Creighton and Muller be-
cause they had stampeded the
horses and taken part in the distur-
bance. / consider if l had not been
there to call assistance the 2 police
men would have been killed. There
were about so of these people there
and also three hacks full of people
looking on. then saw captain
of police and another police officer
drove up. The crowd was then
getting very thin. There was no.
body to arrest. They had all got
into the yard. l arrested Mr..
Creighton and passed him over to
Kamuela to hold. / then told Kaua
to arrest Mr.. Muller. At that time l
did not know Mr.. Muller was a
Consul. l am sure there were
at least 80 people there. I then
came down to the Police Station
with the prisoners. The others were
brought by other policemen. Judg-
ing by the action of these gentle
men, they had been drinking some.
They were not drunk. When 1 ar
rested Creighton and Muller and
told them to come to the Police Sta
ton, they consented. / did not use
any force. There were six got into
hack and came to the Police Sta
ton. Three police, Creighton Null
Ter and another white man whom
do not know. / had been on my
beat all the evening. Robinson was
not there when l first got there. l
blew the whistle and kept OH blow
ing long time.
Lokana sworn, stated: Last
Saturday evening I was at the
Palace. both heard and saw a
disturbance at the corner of Hotel
and Richard streets. I first heard
the policeman's whistle. Then l
went over to the corner. fheard a
noise. l could not tell if it was
near by or far off. saw by my
watch il was half-past IL o'clock.
l came out of the gate on Richard
street, and seeing people moving
about little above, ! walked along
in that direction. I went as far as
the corner and stood there and saw
two policemen coming along with
Mr.. Creighton. There seemed to
be considerable excitement amongst
the white people around there. 1t
seemed to me there were enough
policemen there to do the work
without my help. l saw Mr.. Dow
sett and Whitney. 1 don't know
Mr.. Widemann. After Mr.. Muller
had been arrested l saw Mr.. Dow
sett come along behind and catch
hold of Dias by the shoulder. Dias
turned round and they had scuflle
in the street. l turned round to
assist the policeman. He did not
touch Mr.. Muller. had hold of
Mr.. Creighton. A policeman came
along with horse and ] suggested
that he exchange the horse for the
man. Just at that moment half
white policeman rode up and jumped
off his horse and I held his horse.
l looked towards the crowd and
Dowsett and Dias were on the
ground. 1 lost sight of the half
white policeman. There were at
least Is white men there-perhaps
more. Altogether there were about
10 policemen there. First of all
three policemen and myself were
Mr.. Creighton. There were
a large number Of white men there
and if the policemen had not kept
coming, ! think the white men
would have got away with them.
Mr.. Dowsett took o very active
part in the talking. 1t appeared to
me Mr.. Dowsett wanted the police
men 10 60 into the yard. When l
saw the crowd had dispersed l went
home.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Hatch. The
search for Dias's badge was made
